The national recreation area protects three prominent West Virginia landmarks: Spruce Knob, the highest point in West Virginia (and the highest of the Alleghen

Smoke Hole Canyon, a canyon along the South Branch Potomac River. Spruce Knob–Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area was established by an act of the U.S. Congress on September 28, 1965, as the first national recreation area in a United States National Forest, so it is administered by the U.S. Forest Service.
